SUBJECT: Historic Old Main Street -Lighting and Sidewalk Replacement Project
CIP 3001633 -Main Street Sidewalk Improvements -Jones to Fifth Street
CIP 3001627 -Main Street Historic Lighting (1st to 5th)
City Engineer Gus Psihoyos is recommending approval of the plans, specifications,
form of contract and the estimated cost, and to adopt the Resolution of Necessity and
the Preliminary Schedule of Assessments for the Historic Old Main Street Lighting and
Sidewalk Replacement Project.
This project provides for the replacement of all street lights and traffic signals from 1St
Street to 5th Street. The replacement of the street lights and intersection lights will be
with historic looking fixtures. It is planned to replace the existing street lights with 20 -
12' high historic street lights and 8 - 25' high historic intersection street lights. This
lighting will be similar to what was installed at Washington Park.
In conjunction with this lighting replacement, the project provides for the replacement of
the existing sidewalk and pedestrian access curb ramps with buff colored sidewalk to
match the historic downtown sidewalk standard. In addition, an asphalt street overlay of
Main Street from 1St Street to 5th Street will be included as part of the 2007 Asphalt
Paving Program and coordinated with this project.
The property owners abutting the project limits will be directly assessed for the sidewalk
removal and installation. The City of Dubuque will pay for the first two feet of the
sidewalk directly behind the curb as part of the historic lighting portion of the project.
The remaining ±9 feet of the project will be split 25% for the property owner, with the
remaining 75% to be paid for with a Historic District Public Improvement Program
(HDPIP) grant of $100,000.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

CIP 3001627 -Main Street Historic Lighting (1St to Stn)
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolutions are in reference to the public hearing on the Historic Old Main
Street -Lighting and Sidewalk Replacement Project.
BACKGROUND
The current streetlights along Historic Old Main Street from 1St to Stn street are
scheduled to be replaced due to there deteriorated condition and the increasing high
maintenance costs. The sidewalks are also scheduled to be replaced to match the
current downtown Main Street sidewalk design pattern.
DISCUSSION
This project provides for the replacement of all street lights and traffic signals from 1St
Street to Stn Street. The replacement of the street lights and intersection lights will be
with historic looking fixtures. It is planned to replace the existing street lights with 20 -
12' high historic street lights and 8 - 25' high historic intersection street lights. This
lighting will be similar to what was installed at Washington Park.
The project will include the total reconstruction of the traffic signals located at 3~d and
Main and at 4tn and Main to include count-down pedestrian signals, pre-emption
capabilities and battery backup systems along with fiber optic communications conduit.
New historic lighting equipment and traffic control equipment have already been
purchased for the project to eliminate the long lead time in ordering. These lighting
controllers will also be able to support any future reconstruction of street lights around
the Five Flags Center.
In conjunction with this lighting replacement, the project provides for the replacement of
the existing sidewalk and pedestrian access curb ramps with buff colored sidewalk to
match the historic downtown sidewalk standard. In addition, an asphalt street overlay of
Main Street from 1St Street to 5th Street will be included as part of the 2007 Asphalt
Paving Program and coordinated with this project.
The property owners abutting the project limits will be directly assessed for the sidewalk
removal and installation. The City of Dubuque will pay for the first two feet of the
sidewalk directly behind the curb as part of the historic lighting- portion of the project.
The remaining ± 9 feet of the project will be split 25 percent (25%) for the property
owner, with the remaining 75 percent (75%) to be paid for with a Historic District Public
Improvement Program (HDPIP) grant of $100,000.
This project will need to be constructed in multiple phases to accommodate the needs
of the property owners abutting the project. Several property owners have voiced
specific needs to limit the disruption of their business during the construction of the
project. Engineering will incorporate in the plans as best as possible to limit the
disturbance to the businesses on Lower Main by multi-phasing the project.

Schedule of Assessments for the Historic Old Main Street -Lighting and Sidewalk
